For me, Greek yogurt is the go to yogurt in my fridge and Stonyfield’s organic version is no different. With more protein (10 grams in this case) and less sugar (13 grams) than normal yogurts, this style tends to satisfy my hunger better. In addition, the zero grams of fat and only 90 calories make Stonyfield’s Oikos Yogurt an ideal treat or snack for anyone that isn’t lactose intolerant.
Of course, being organic means this product costs a bit more. As expensive as organic products can be, there’s a certain comfort in seeing an ingredient list as short as Stonyfield’s Oikos Greek Yogurt. Cultured nonfat milk, honey, sugar, pectin, and carob bean gum (all organic) make up the entire list. No artificial sweeteners, crazy additives or unnecessary ingredients. The most interesting inclusion is the honey. Mixed in with the Greek yogurt, it adds a sweetness that this style of yogurt tends to lack naturally. Although, it should also be noted that the honey can be extremely messy, in part because the 4 oz cups are rather shallow and also the honey is just the liquidy.
If you’re looking for a “plain Greek yogurt,” you can get a tubbed version and bypass the honey. However, I feel the honey adds so much flavor without adding a ton of sugar that it would be a shame not to at least taste it yourself. Also, the organic nature of Stonyfield’s yogurts means there aren’t any weird ingredients for people to be adversely affected by. Overall, Stonyfield’s Oikos Greek Yogurt is a must try for anyone looking for healthy, addictive new snack.
I’m not a big yogurt fan but did try Chobani when I won it in a blog giveaway. I like mine with some cereal mixed in for crunch:)
I haven’t found Chobani at any of my usual shopping places, so I’ve yet to try it. At some point I’ll have to venture out and try to find some.
I love Stonyfield’s Greek yogurt! I cannot stand Greek yogurt plain though and neeeed the honey or a fruit to be able to tolerate it.
